I got a recipe from the book "Brewing crafts" by Rodgers-Wilson
which calls for the following ingredients:
Black Rock Whispering Wheat bear
Dried wheat malt 1kg
Coriander 15g
Orange peel zest 2 tbsp
Safwheat yeast
I have been to my LHBS And picked up the following:
Black Rock Whispering Wheat bear LME kit
Dried wheat malt 1kg (coppertun)
the recipe called for Safwheat yeast, but under advice from the brew shop I am using mangrove jacks craft series yeast m20 bavarian wheat instead.
For the coriander I was going to just use dried coriander, but since reading the forums see that others are using coriander seeds for their all grain brews, so think I should be looking for the seeds instead.
For the Orange peel zest, I have brought some oranges and was going to use fresh zest that I harvested myself, but am now wondering whether that is a good idea or not. Thoughts?
The book I have suggests to treat the orange zest and coriander in the same way as grain, and in the same book suggests to:
crush grain, mix with enough water to allow it to slop around freely(500ml or so) heat to boiling and leave on a rolling boil for 20 minutes before straining into other hot ingredients.
SO. That is my plan of attack so far, But I am interested to hear other peoples thoughts on any ingredient changes/ additions, or different techniques that could help to make a better beer.
Cheers in advance for all your help. I really do appreciate having such a wealth of knowledge helping me along the way with learning how to brew. It is invaluable
